What do we know about Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 5?

Epic Games had made a few announcements about the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 5 update, although none of them revealed too much.

But then on October 29, 2024, the game's X-site released a new video that plays backwards and ends with a logo in bold yellow letters that says “Fortnite Remix Chapter 2.”

The video is only four seconds long but features previous characters like Meowdas and the unmasked Skye, which has delighted fans in the comments.

A poll posted under the video by an account called Fortnite News & Leaks asked users if they liked the Battle Pass skins shown in the video.

At the time of writing, there were 2,611 votes, with 69 percent saying “yes.”
